A rigid tank contains 20lbm of air at 80ºF and 35 psig. Heat is added until the pressure doubles to 70 psig. Rair = 0.3704 psia-ft3/lbm-R

  1. Draw the P-v and T-v diagrams for the problem.
  2. What is the volume of the tank ft3?
  3. What is final temperature of the air in ºF?
  4. How much heat is transferred in the process in Btu?

A closed, rigid tank is filled with water. Initially, the tank holds 1.0 lb of saturated vapor and 7.0 lb of saturated liquid, each at 212°F. The water is heated until the tank contains only saturated vapor. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Determine the volume of the tank, in ft3, the temperature at the final state, in °F, and the heat transfer, in Btu.

A rigid, well-insulated tank, with a volume of 0.057 m3 , contains air at p1 = 1.4 bar, T1 = 280 K. The air is stirred by a paddle wheel, resulting in an energy transfer to the gas of magnitude 6.78 kJ. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, determine the final temperature, in K, and the final pressure, in bar. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects

A rigid tank has a volume of 0.01 m3. It initially contains saturated water at a temperature of 200 oC and a quality of 0.4. The top of the tank contains a pressure regulating valve which maintains the vapor at constant pressure. This system undergoes a process where it is heated until all the liquid vaporizes. How much heat in (kJ) is required? You may assume there is no pressure drop in the exit line.
